|
WHEREAS, All who shared in the life of Homero Roel Villarreal |
|
|
Jr. of Robstown were deeply saddened by his death on September 22, |
|
|
2020, at the age of 33; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The only child of Homero Roel Villarreal Sr. and |
|
|
Matilde Amezquita Villarreal, Homer Villarreal was born in Corpus |
|
|
Christi on January 15, 1987; he traveled frequently throughout |
|
|
South Texas with his parents as they worked in behalf of civil |
|
|
rights and managed a newspaper, and along the way, he learned about |
|
|
sales, graphic arts, and sociopolitical and economic systems; after |
|
|
graduating from Robstown High School, he attended Del Mar College; |
|
|
when applying for a clerical job with a home health business, he |
|
|
walked into the wrong interview room and landed himself a position |
|
|
as its marketing coordinator instead; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eventually, Mr. Villarreal founded his own |
|
|
marketing and multimedia company, IXPOSE; his charming, outgoing |
|
|
personality served him well in responsibilities that ranged from |
|
|
promoting wrestling to squiring a Chinese business delegation |
|
|
around town; in addition, he served as a marketing representative |
|
|
for actor Pepe Serna, sponsored events for actor Edward James |
|
|
Olmos, and edited an independent film, Anastasia; he was especially |
|
|
proud of his anti-bullying film produced for the Robstown |
|
|
Independent School District, titled ENOUGH; in his last years, as |
|
|
he battled a terminal illness, he found strength and solace in his |
|
|
faith and defied his doctor's predictions many times; he managed to |
|
|
continue part-time employment in marketing for two dental offices |
|
|
and even set new sales and client recruitment records; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Villarreal and Selina Benavidez were blessed |
|
|
with two sons, Homer and Nicolas; he later enjoyed a fulfilling |
|
|
relationship with Monica Duran, and they became the parents of two |
|
|
children, Roel and Felix; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Homer Villarreal is deeply missed by those |
|
|
he left behind, they will forever treasure their memories of his |
|
|
unfailing good humor and his warm and thoughtful ways; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Homer Villarreal |
|
|
Jr. and extend sincere sympathy to his loved ones; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Homer |
|
|
Villarreal. |
